§ 22.52.200. Education and Outreach.

A.

Outreach and Public Education. A formal outreach and public education program shall be implemented to reach the broadest possible audience, including grading contractors, heavy equipment operators, farmers and ranchers, and other professionals involved in grading and/or earthwork. This program shall include, but shall not be limited to, informational handouts, webpage information, and notification of requirements distributed with construction and land use permits.

B.

Professional Education Program. In the event that the County adopts a certification Program for grading contractors, where state law requires that earthwork, grading, excavation or fill be performed by a licensed contractor, that licensed contractor shall also be certified by the County. Certification requirements shall be as established by the Board, and may include, but not necessarily be limited to, satisfactory knowledge and understanding of the County Grading, Drainage and Erosion and Sedimentation Control Ordinance, and/or familiarity with and continuing education in accepted grading, drainage, erosion and sedimentation control methods.
